The old town of Cuenca is one of the few places where you can go out (safely) at night. The Carvallo is in a restored mansion with rooms surrounding a roofed courtyard. Beautiful art and antiques complement the space. Rooms are quiet and the beds are comfortable. Service was very good. Nearby are excellent shopping, including a handicrafts market, good... More

I came on a research trip and stayed 3 nights. This is an old Spanish Colonial building that has a lot of character, has an interesting layout and the rooms were comfortable and well appointed. It is in a great location near the old center of town and within easy walking distance to the rivers. Staff was outstanding and attentive.... More

The hotel public areas and rooms use Spanish colonial style, and the room was spacious. The hotel was 2 or 3 blocks from the main square, and the neighborhood had shops but was quiet at night. Breakfast was great, including choice of eggs. More

This is a very nicely redone boutique hotel right in downtown Cuenca. Great character, incredible service, good free breakfasts but one large issue. Concrete walls in an atrium format with creaking wooden floors on each level = you can hear everything from the kids running up and down the hall, people at breakfast etc. Bottomline, if you are used to...

I read the reviews prior to my trip to Cuenca. I found the staff to be extremely hospitable and the breakfast that was included, was more than ample. My sister and I shared a room, and my other sister had room 308,which was beautiful. The location was perfect and the restaurants a great find. There is a fabulous restaurant directly... More

At $100, tax included, and 1 block from Parque Calderon, Hotel Carvallo is well-situated. The decor is fresh and bright. Breakfast is included though a little skimpy, I thought - why do we have to pick between fruit and eggs? The staff is helpful and efficient. The rooms are clean, freshly renovated and well appointed. I would come back to... More

Breakfast included. Our family of 4-- 2 adults and 2 kids ages 11 and 5. Stayed one night. Room 203, inside room, recommended for the street noise. Stayed here Dec 31st, 2008. New Years! We have lived in Quito, Ecuador, for 4 years Pros • City Centre location is fantastic. Close to everything, shops, square and another neat thing is... More

We stayed here for two nights. Our first night was in a room on third floor toward the back of the hotel. The room was very small, but comfortable. The big problem here was the noise, so we requested to move. The second night we stayed on the first floor in a room that had two beds, but was much... More
